The improved cab concept in the new DQ-X allows for excellent all-round visibility. The driver has a significantly larger view radius than in comparable competitor models. The ergonomic operation via finger tips and travel direction switch allows for quick and convenient operation. In the case of the heavy-duty vehicles, operation is via individual levers or optionally via joystick.

The newly designed steering system has a 20° greater steering angle than comparable predecessors. This gives vehicles in the DQ-X series a significantly tighter turning circle. Moreover, the switching times from longitudinal to traverse drive are significantly reduced. Under normal driving conditions, the time for a change of direction is reduced by up to 40 percent. The improvements lead to a considerably faster turnaround of goods and improved maneuverability.

The DQ-X has a low-emission, quiet turbo motor which fulfills the criteria of the Tier 4 final / EURO Stage III B emissions standard. Compared with its previous motor, emissions have been reduced by up to 30 percent. In addition, the diesel-powered DQ-X – just like the HUBTEX electric forklifts – is equipped with driver assistance systems which increase occupational safety: For example, it automatically slows down on bends or when a load is lifted. Forklift drivers work with the new DQ-X in an energy-efficient, quiet and highly ergonomic manner. The 3051 series also uses motors from other manufacturers.

The 3-wheel chassis is the best solution with poor floor conditions. Due to their hydrostatic all-wheel drive with separately activated differential lock, they are ideally suited for poor ground or floor conditions as well as semi-solid ground (even for slippery surfaces such as ice and snow).  

Lift masts and fork carriages have been specially redesigned for the DQ-X. The focus of the development was on improving visibility to the load. The result is the more compact masts and fork carriages. In vehicles with a higher load capacity, the mast profiles are further apart in order to meet the higher load capacities for long loads. 

Our vehicles often have to carry different load depths. If this is the case, our hydraulically adjustable telescopic forks are exactly the right equipment for your HUBTEX.  They are controlled simply at the push of a button from the cab. 

In comparison, most multi-directional forklifts on the market use a four-wheel concept with two double rollers on the load side and two large rollers on the cab and drive side. The big advantage of four-wheel chassis is the significantly smaller turning radius of the vehicles, which allows you to make the most of your advantages, especially in indoor applications where space is very limited. Compared to 4-way forklifts, you need level compensation to overcome uneven floors. With Hubtex, this is ensured by an articulated frame or hydraulic compensation. Older designs of 4-wheel drive sideloaders are also known as four-way trucks. However, this term is quite outdated, as 4-wheel chassis offer considerably more possibilities than a pure longitudinal, transverse and circular drive. As a rule, there are systems with diagonal travel, individually controlled wheels or fluently changing travel directions and steering point shifts. See for this the HUBTEX HX steering system.

In addition to the vehicle frame with the previously described 3-wheel chassis with steering, the 4 way forklift is essentially composed of lift mast, fork carriage, engine, hydraulic equipment and cab. The very robust and compact four-way system was developed by HUBTEX mainly for outdoor use. Due to their hydrostatic all-wheel drive with engageable differential lock, they are ideally suited for poor soils and semi-solid ground (even in ice and snow).
The four-way steering system enables optimum handling of long and bulky loads and efficient use of storage space. Its steering system offers the shortest possible switching times from longitudinal to transverse travel. The powerful diesel and gas engines meet the latest environmental standards and are optimised in terms of ease of maintenance and service.

HUBTEX has been producing 4-way forklifts since 2001 and accordingly a large number of interesting used trucks are now available. Before they are sold, they are renewed by experienced technicians at the HUBTEX manufacturing plant and brought into a very good condition.
Due to the exclusive use of original spare parts your forklift truck remains an original HUBTEX. Our service advisors offer you the highest transparency for the development of your maintenance costs. Individually tailored maintenance concepts offer you a clearly calculable cost structure. On request, we can analyse your previous maintenance costs and show you potential savings. This means that even the investment in a used device can become a long-term investment.
